That one is also nicely given during the setup, the following is from
vice-setup-user (part of the vice-setup script):
echo "An initial administrative user $username (id $userid)"
echo "with Coda password changeme now exists."

Pdbtool is for managing users/groups, not passwords.

That is his home volume, here is an example of some volumes I encounter
while going to the one that stores my email...
volume-mountpoint volume ACLs
/coda vmm:coda.root System:Administrators all
System:AnyUser rl
/coda/usr vmm:usr System:Administrators all
System:AnyUser rl
/coda/usr/jaharkes vm:u.jaharkes System:Administrators all
System:AnyUser rl
jaharkes all
/coda/usr/jaharkes/Mail vm:u.jaharkes.mail System:Administrators all
jaharkes all
We use the part of the volume name before the colon to indicate on which
replicated servergroup the volume is located. After the colon is
commonly a indication of whether it is a user or project volume and
which user or project is the volume's principal owner. The last part
indicates the volume's main purpose in life, storing mail, compilation
objects, papers/theses.
Ofcourse this is just a naming convention we happen to use, but it does
make it easier to quickly figure out where a volume is located in the
directory tree and which servers are responsible for storing the
replica's, or who to contact if something is wrong with the volume etc.
I tend to have pretty much the same acl on most directories within a
volume, but that is probably because I can make new volumes whenever I
feel like it ;)
